argument against cloning

Cloning takes the value of our life, it takes away individuality in our society, and destroyes the moral and social systems that we have long cultivated. If human cloning is allowed, there would be so many people who use cloning technology to make money. To allow human cloning creates a world where we could get life with money.

Human cloning will make the family system even worse than it is right now, because cloning needs only one DNA, and it doesn’t matter whether a man or a woman offers their DNA, it’s plain to see that there will be much more single-parent families.
